TIDBITS® VISITSTHE SMITHSONIAN

by Kathy WolfeTidbits is honoring Smithsonian Day on August 10 by bringing you some facts on this institution, home to 137 million artifacts, works of arts, and specimens. • James Smithson was an English chemist, min-eralogist, and Oxford graduate who devoted his life to science, authoring 27 published papers on mineralogy. Although he had never even visited the United States, upon his death in 1829, he left his entire estate “to the United States of America, to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an Establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men.” • Smithson’s bequest was sent to the U.S. in the form of gold sovereigns filling 11 boxes, along with his personal items, scientific papers, miner-als, and library. The gold was sent to the U.S. treasury in Philadelphia to be reminted, a total of $508,318. • Smithson died and was buried in Italy, and the U.S. consulate in Genoa maintained his grave site there until 1903. That year, famous inventor Alexander Graham Bell, who was a regent for the Smithsonian, traveled to Genoa with his wife to have the body exhumed. turn the page for more!

What is Tidbits?

SMITHSONIAN (continued):• Bell and his wife accompanied Smithson’s body across the ocean to the United States, and in January, 1904, the body was escorted through Washington, D.C. by the U.S. Cavalry to Smith-son’s final resting place, a crypt on the first floor of the Smithsonian Castle.• There are 19 different museums and galleries in the Smithsonian complex, including the Air and Space Museum, National Zoological Park, American History Museum, American Indian Museum, National Portrait Gallery, and Natu-ral History Museum. The American History Museum, with over three million artifacts in its collection, contains everything from a piece of Plymouth Rock to the ruby slippers and scare-crow costume from 1939’s The Wizard of Oz. Lewis and Clark’s compass from their 1803 ex-pedition is housed there as well as a section of the first transatlantic telegraph cable, completed in 1866. • In 1920, Harry Burt started the Good Humor Ice Cream Company and operated a fleet of 12 trucks complete with freezers and bells. His salesmen wore crisp white uniforms and were required to tip their hats to all ladies. The Smith-sonian is home to a 1938 Chevrolet Good Humor truck, a valuable piece of American history. • In February of 1960, four African-American students sat down at a Greensboro, North Car-olina Woolworth’s lunch counter, filling seats vacated by white customers. After being re-fused service, they stayed in their seats, initi-ating a peaceful sit-in against racial inequality, and launching a pivotal phase of the civil rights movement. A section of that lunch counter, along with four stools, is a popular landmark in the American History Museum.

SMITHSONIAN (continued):• One of the most popular exhibits in the Smith-sonian is the Star-Spangled Banner flag, also called the Great Garrison flag, which flew over Baltimore’s Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. This flag was the inspiration for Francis Scott Key, who penned the now-famous poem “Defense of Fort McHenry,” which was later set to music, becoming the U.S. national anthem. The flag with its 15 stars and 15 stripes was sewn by a Baltimore woman named Mary Pickergill in 1813 for $405.90. After the war, the banner was in the possession of the family of Major George Armistead, the commander of the fort, until 1912, when it was donated to the Smithsonian. It has undergone several restorations, the first in 1914 and the most recent, a long-term restoration begun in 1999. • Pieces from the life of George Washington abound in the Smithsonian, including a wisp of his hair, a brick from his childhood home, a letter hand-written by him in 1785, his uniform from the Revolutionary War, and wood from his cof-fin. There is also a 12-ton marble statue of the na-tion’s first president, completed in 1841, sitting atop a granite pedestal. Walk over to the National Portrait Gallery and you can see Gilbert Stuart’s famous painting of Washington, the image we see every day on the dollar bill. • The world of sports is well-represented at the Smithsonian with a pair of 1823 roller skates, Muhammad Ali’s boxing gloves, Bobby Orr’s hockey gloves, Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls jersey, and jockey Steve Cauthen’s horse-rac-ing silks. The speed skates worn by Olympic gold medalist Apolo Ohno at the 2002 Winter Olympics, Arthur Ashe’s tennis racket, Roger Staubach’s football jersey, and Hank Aaron’s baseball jersey are all part of the collection of 6,000 sports items.

SMITHSONIAN (continued):• Over 26,000 square feet of the transportation hall are filled with objects chronicling the na-tion’s travels, including a railroad car from 1836, a 1903 Winton, which was the first car driven across the United States, and a 40-foot (12.2-m) section of the famous Route 66. • The green-domed Museum of Natural History opened in 1910, among the first Smithsonian buildings to be constructed. Its area is the size of about 18 football fields and houses fossils, min-erals, meteorites, dinosaur skeletons, taxidermy, and sections. The insect exhibit features 30 mil-lion creatures pinned into boxes. In the herbar-ium, 4.5 million plants have been pressed onto sheets of paper. • The legendary Hope Diamond is a 45.52-carat deep blue diamond, famous for a supposed curse upon its owner, allegedly bringing tragedy to all who own it or wear it. It’s believed that King Louis XIV bought the gem in 1668 for his wife Marie Antoinette. The pair were guillotined dur-ing the French Revolution. After a series of own-ers, American heiress Evalyn Walsh McLean brought it to America, and following her death, jeweler Harry Winston bought the diamond. In 1958, Winston chose to donate it to the Smith-sonian Museum of Natural History, and put the irreplaceable gem in a plain brown wrapper and sent it by registered first-class mail. Insured for $250 million, the Hope Diamond is displayed in its own room behind a 3-inch-thick (76 mm) bulletproof glass. • Eugene Cernan was the last man to walk on the moon on Dec. 14, 1972. The National Air and Space Museum is home to Cernan’s space-suit, garb that weighed about 185 lbs. (84 kg) on Earth. Visitors to this museum can also see a lunar roving vehicle, Saturn V rockets, Charles Lindbergh memorabilia, and the B-29 Superfor-tress, the Enola Gay.

It was novelist Ayn Rand who made the follow-ing sage observation: ÒYou can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoid-ing reality.

Those who study such things say that penguins are ticklish.

On the whole, Texas is a good bit hotter than Ohio, wouldnÕt you think? You might be sur-prised to learn, then, that on a per capita basis, Cleveland has 42 times as many swimming pools as Fort Worth.

The 21 Club is a posh New York restaurant that has been in operation since 1922, though it has undergone some changes since its early days. The eateryÕs policy prohibiting women from wearing pants to dine didnÕt change until 1969. That was the year when ÒLaugh-InÓ actress Judy Carne entered wearing what has been de-scribed as a Òtunic-topped pants suit.Ó When she was told she wouldnÕt be allowed to dine, she took off her pants and left them in the coat-check room. The tunic by itself just barely quali-fied as a micro-mini, but it was enough. The 21 Club changed its policy the next day.

Smiling is a natural human instinct. Even peo-ple who have been blind since birth smile when they’re happy.

Ireland has the distinction of being the first na-tion in the world that had one woman succeed another woman as head of state, when, in 1997, Mary MacAleese was elected president after Mary Robinson served in that position.

During World War I, the opposing armies called a truce to celebrate Christmas 1914. During the truce, a group of German soldiers and a group of British soldiers met in the no-manÕs land between the opposing trenches to play a soccer match.

I frequently am asked - "what diet do you recommend?" I think about all of the diets so popular right now - South Beach, Paleo, Atkins, Mediterranean, Eat Right For Your Blood Type, Zone diet, etc. It's diz-zying! My answer is always simple - whole foods. Real food, like naturally raised meats, vegetables grown in quality soil, without chemical pesticides and herbicides, fresh fruit. You know the kind that actually nourishes your body, not just fills your belly. Food has become a social event on one hand, and something to get done quickly and get out of your way so you can attend to "more important things" on the other hand.We've lost what is important about food. We've lost the connection to earth and the opportunity to learn things and have fun as a family. We've lost the elements of a family unit that bound them to-gether in past centuries - food.There is a movement abound that entails preparing foods like in the past. Foods ranging from mak-ing yogurt like they did over 2000 years BC, to grandmother’s chicken soup.Called by ancient cultures "the food of the gods", homemade yogurt from fresh goat or cow milk is enjoying a comeback in homes everywhere. Scientific studies have shown that real chicken soup (not from a can) supports healthy immune function and bone health - just like our ancestors claimed. It is easy to make, and more homes are enjoying it. With bread machines making homemade breads easier, we are seeing a comeback in that as well.Unfortunately, quality food preparation, done right, takes time. With the help of the internet, and some modernization, we can actually prepare whole, nutrient-dense foods in a fraction of the time our ancestors did. It is a matter of finding a simple routine, being taught (or reminded) of the basics of food preparation, and some ingenuity to simplify kitchen processes to fit today's busy schedules.I have been especially excited over the past couple of years about what I have learned (or re-learned) from our ancestors who valued good foods. Their lives were dependent upon them. They didn't need science to define what was needed, they knew instinctually. It was wisdom that was in their genes. It was passed down from generation to generation. It wasn't geared towards just getting it out of the way. Food was life itself. It was necessary for survival. It was sacred. Nourishing their children was one of the most important endeavors to the primitive man. It meant survival of the species.As we nourish our families with real food, quality food, there is a deeply satisfying feeling that we experience that no diet trend could ever do.

Answers1. Status Quo (“Pictures of Matchstick Men”). Only one original member, Francis Rossi, re-mains with the group, which still tours.2. “Needles and Pins,” originally in 1963. It was only a minor hit until the Searchers version.3. “Black Is Black,” in 1966. Because of the sim-ilarity in lead voices, many thought it was done by Gene Pitney.4. Bobby Rydell, in 1960. It did well, but not as well as his “Wild One.”5. “Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots,” by The Cheers in 1955, one of the first in the teenage tragedy songs genre.

Senior SnapshotThe National Institutes of Health and the Nation-al Institute on Aging have compiled an analysis of seniors age 65 and older, based on the 2010 Census. The information gives a clear picture of who we are and what we’re doing in areas of location, health and economics.¥ Where we are: As of 2010, more seniors were living in Florida, West Virginia, Maine and Pennsylvania (more than 15 percent of the pop-ulation) than anywhere else. Eleven states have more than 1 million seniors age 65 and older. When it comes to growth, however, the South and West experienced a higher rate.¥ Over 38 percent of us have one or more dis-abilities. Most common difficulties are walking, climbing stairs and doing errands alone.¥ Our computer use is up 31 percent.¥ While the percent of seniors in nursing facili-ties has declined, the percentage in long-term care facilities has risen.¥ Women outnumber men (this we know!) and it started at age 35 when the male/female bal-ance shifted. By age 65, there are one hundred women to every eighty-nine men.¥ Seniors are the only group to have an increase in voter participation.¥ Our workforce levels have risen, up to 22 per-cent for men and 13 percent for women. (The rate for those ages 25 to 34 fell.) Age 65 and older is the only group not to have a decline in employment rate.¥ While the rate of home ownership fell for those under age 65, seniors stayed the same. Our rate of 81 percent puts us above all the other age groups.To read the whole report, go online to www.cen-sus.gov and put this in the search box: 65+ in the United States: 2010. At 192 pages, this docu-ment is packed with information.

COUCH THEATER -- PICKS OF THE WEEKBy Sam Struckhoff“The Other Woman” (PG-13) -- Three women team up for slapstick revenge when they realize they are being strung along by the same guy. Cameron Diaz plays a super-busy, extra-classy Man-hattan lawyer who tries to surprise her boyfriend, but ends up finding out he’s married. The cheated wife (Leslie Mann of “This Is 40,” “Knocked Up”) confronts and then befriends Diaz. Together they discover that Mann’s husband (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from “Game of Thrones”) is cheating on both of them with a voluptuous beach bunny (Kate Upton).This might not be the hilarious and empowering ladies-get-revenge the producers had in mind. While Diaz and Mann try to bring balance between warmth and goofy comedy, the script and the direction just don’t support them.

“Noah” (PG-13) -- The Bible story of Noah and the Ark gets a different spin in this somewhat darker and grungier retelling. Russell Crowe plays Noah with gravel-voiced conviction. He receives visions from the silent “creator” who seems to give him instructions. Noah puts together the boat, rounds up the animals and fights off hordes of enemies -- all with a little help from giant rock mon-sters who used to be angels.Darren Aronofsky handles the material as reverently as he can. The movie tries to fill in the gaps while pleasing both devout and secular audiences. There are some genuine thrills in the film, as well as some truly impressive special effects.

“Lullaby” (R) -- Jonathan (Garrett Hedlund) left his family years ago to pursue a music career out in California, and now he’s come back to New York City for his father’s final days. Dad (Richard Jenkins) has decided he wants to be pulled off life support after a very long battle with cancer. Now the whole clan has a lot of feelings to work out and only 48 hours to do it. Jonathan finds some peace when he meets Meredith (Jessica Barden), a terminally ill teen who teaches him a few things about living with death.

“Five Dances” -- Chip (Ryan Steele) is talented, young, broke and all but alone in New York City. He’s in a small dance troupe rehearsing five classical pieces of choreography, dedicating himself to the art while still receiving phone calls from his alcoholic mother, begging or demanding that he return to Kansas or else she’ll follow him to the city. Chip has a connection with one of the other dancers, but he doesn’t how to react to it. The driving force of this film is the expert dancing -- shot almost entirely in a small dance studio with natural lighting and minimal schmaltz. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Ortho Biotic by Ortho Molecular & ProFlora Intensive by Biogenesis NeutraceuticalsProbiotics are getting to be a big thing, just watch T.V. and you’ll see commercials about yogurt with live cultures (and lots of sugar) or famous athletes touting an over-the-counter probiotic. But why are there so many new ads about probiotics when purchases of every other supplement (multi, vit. d, fish oil) are down? Because you can’t deny the studies. There are so many different strains of good bacteria for your gut and so many new studies, such as the Human Microbiome Project, that are proving over and over the health benefits of good bacteria in our bodies. Here are some fun facts about bacteria and our bodies: -There is more bacteria in your body than stars in the Milky Way galaxy - There are 10 times more bacteria in your body than human cells - 29% of the bacteria in your body (majority) is in your GI tract, and 26% is in your mouth. - Good flora (good gut bugs, probiotics) assists metabolic function, protect against pathogens and help balance inflammation and immune system - Over use of antibiotics creates a ‘sterile’ gut, absent of GOOD or BAD bacteria. Sterile gut contributes to autoimmune disease and food sensitivities/allergies. - Having good gut bacteria balance positively influences body composition and promotes healthy weight and mood What do we do for sterile gut or bad bacteria balance? Well, we start by colonizing the gut with good bacteria in high doses. If you are a frequent antibiotic user, or have never recolonized your gut after antibiotic use, start with ProFlora Intensive by Biogenesis. It contains 10 strains of microbes equaling 112 Billion Colony Forming Units (CFU) to really create a change. This will be the shove you need to get out of the ditch. After a 10 day therapy of Pro Flora Intensive you can maintain a good bacteria balance using Ortho Biotic by Ortho Molecular. It contains seven strains of bacteria equaling 22 billion cfu, just the right daily dose. Other ways to im-prove good bacteria balance are avoiding sugar and refined carbohydrates as they just feed the bad bacteria, and eat fermented food like sauerkraut and kimchi which contain good bacteria. Try kefir or kombucha as probiotic drinks, but always check the amount of sugar in everything you consume.

Until August 15th, buy ProFlora Intensive and Ortho Biotic together and receive 5% off. Limit 2 per customer per visit.

Imported food we eat and the junk we buy:Green Giant frozen vegetables are from China, and so are most of Europe 's. Arctic Gardens are Okay. So is Birdseye.Never buy the grocery store garlic unless it is clearly marked from USA or Canada , the other stuff is grown in people poop (even worse than chicken poop). China is the largest producer of garlic in the world; U. S. is next.Buy only local honey , much honey is shipped in huge containers from China and re-packed here.Cold-FX is grown and packed in China and is full of fecal bacteria. Doesn't work anyway, big scam. If the country of origin is not clearly marked beware. Watch out for packages which state "prepared for", "packed by" or "imported by". The country of origin should be clearly shown on the item in the store.Go to the local farmers' markets in season and keep a wary eye open the rest of the year.How is it possible to ship food from China cheaper than having it produced in the U. S. or Canada?FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA '. SO, FOR A FEW MORE CENTS, BUY THE LIBERTY BRAND.GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE IS FROM CALIFOR-NIA .Beware, Costco sells canned peaches and pears in a plastic jar that come from China.ALL "HIGH LINER" AND MOST OTHER FROZEN FISH PRODUCTS COME FROM CHINA OR INDO-NESIA . THE PACKAGE MAY SAY "PACIFIC SALM-ON" ON THE FRONT, BUT LOOK FOR THE SMALL PRINT. MOST OF THESE PRODUCTS COME FROM FISH FARMS IN THE ORIENT WHERE THERE ARE NO REGULATIONS ON WHAT IS FED TO THESE FISH.Recently The Montreal Gazette had an article by the Ca-nadian Government on how Chinese feed the fish: They suspend chicken wire crates over the fish ponds, and the fish feed on chicken poop.If you search the internet about what the Chinese feed their fish, you'll be alarmed; e. g, growth hormones, expired anti-biotic from humans.? Never buy any type of fish or shellfish that comes from these countries: Vietnam , China , Philippines.Steinfeld's Pickles are made in India - just as bad!Another example is in canned mushrooms. No-Name brand came from Indonesia ...Also check those little fruit cups. They used to be made in Canada in the Niagara region until about 2 years ago. They are now packaged in China. Most sold in Aldi stores.Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply choose another product, or none at all.

Don't read this article if you are squeamish. But the fact is the quality of our food is continuing to deteriorate at an alarming rate, and be-coming dangerous to our health. Some examples: Smithfield Farms, the largest pork producing farm in the USA was sold in September to China with the unanimous support of its stockholders! The hogs will still be raised here, but slaughtered and packaged for sale there before being sent back here. This includes labels of Morrell, Eckrich, Krakus, Cudahy, Premium Hams, Cook's. The same with many chickens. They can now be shipped there, but when they come back all that needs to be labeled is

that they WERE RAISED IN THE USA. Not that they were processed in China!!! Our great FDA at work again. The chickens will be all processed and most sold to fast food restaurants for sandwiches, along with schools and supermarkets. The China slaughter and pro-cessing are not nearly equal to the requirements here. We recently learned that Starkist Tuna is now owned by Korea , and is in big conflict with the U. S. concerning quality, safety, and records, which Korea refuses to pro-duce.Read several articles on Google about this, and even one that was defending the eating of tilapia said to avoid the fish that came from China .? Also, I had just returned home from buying Albertson's 4-day special of 4 bags of frozen tilapia for the price of one.? Sure enough, on the top of the bags, it read "farm raised", and on the bottom in small print it said, " China " read all the way down... Recently a Food inspector on TV... said he had lived over-seas and he had seen the filthy conditions their foods are raised and processed in. It is enough to make you throw up. Some foreign workers have to wear masks as they work in these places, because the food is so rotten and filthy, it makes them want to throw up. Many of their fish on Fish Farms are fed raw sewage daily. He said he has seen so much filth throughout their food growing and pro-cessing that he would "never" eat any of it. They raise this filth, put some food coloring and some flavorings on it, then they ship it to the USA & Canada for YOU to con-sume and feed to YOUR families. They have no Food & Safety Inspectors. They ship it to you to buy and poison your families and friends .

Potato salad will have more flavor if you whisk together all the dressing ingredients and add it to the potatoes when they are warm. The potatoes will absorb the ingredients better, and the flavor will develop even more during refrigeration.

Dill planted near tomatoes will draw caterpillars away from the fruits. And it’s delicious.

“I love to grill, and when it’s nice out, we grill every weekend. I always put on extra and use the leftovers through the week. Chicken in salad, a nice flank steak for fajitas, etc. And it means less cooking for me!” -- Y.L. in Maryland

Here’s a great recipe for an icy treat: Freeze or-ange juice or apple juice in ice trays. Throw a handful in the blender for a fruit slush that can’t be beat on a hot day.

“A lot of smoke was coming off our grill, and our patio doors were wide open. Long story short: It swamped the living room with smoke. The smell was a little overwhelming. After we closed the door, my neighbor doused a kitchen towel with white vinegar, wrung it out and waved it around the room. It cleared out the smoke smell right away, and the vinegar smell went away just as quickly. What a miracle!” -- F.F. in South Caro-lina

Taking Pets on the RoadDEAR PAW’S CORNER: We’re planning to drive across the country and want to bring along our dogs, “Trudy” and “Jake.” We’ve never done a trip like this before, though, and I hear that there are not many pet-friendly hotels or camp-sites. Is that true? -- Carl C., Trenton, N.J.

DEAR CARL: Actually, the number of pet-friendly accommodations in the United States is increasing, with even some high-end hotels of-fering pet perks such as rooms customized with sleeping areas, and food and water dishes. Many campgrounds allow dogs, as long as they are leashed and do not disturb other campers. A number of books and websites are available that list pet-friendly places. Check out BringFi-do.com to search for places to stay during your trip.For a cross-country drive, plan your route based on those pet-friendly accommodations. How long do you plan to drive each day? Will you be stopping to sightsee? Are there times when you have to be dog-free (such as going out for a nice dinner), and need to keep them in a safe place like a day kennel?You’ll also need to keep the dogs safe while in the vehicle, so look into purchasing either dog restraints (sort of a seat belt for dogs of different sizes) or sturdy carriers, or both. Remember to never let the dogs sit alone in the car, even with the windows down -- it’s incredibly dangerous.If you have time before the big drive, try taking the dogs on a long one-day drive or an overnight trip, so both you and they get used to the idea of traveling some distance.With some careful planning, you can bring your dogs along and have a very enjoyable, safe trip.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:JAMES NAISMITH

Thanks to Canadian-born James Naismith, the world enjoys the popular sport of basketball. Here’s the lowdown on the origins of this sport and its inventor. • A native of Almonte, Ontario, Naismith stud-ied at Montreal’s McGill University, majoring in physical education. Naismith was a multi-talent-ed athlete, representing his college in football, lacrosse, rugby, soccer, and gymnastics He then earned a diploma from the Presbyterian College in Montreal. Following graduation, he became the physical education teacher at his alma mater McGill University, a post he retained for three years. • In 1890, Naismith made the move across the border to take a position in Massachusetts at Springfield College, which was the international YMCA training school. During the severe New England winters, students became unruly and restless when confined indoors, and in 1891, Naismith’s supervisor gave him two weeks to come up with an indoor activity that would help athletes stay in shape, while reducing their cabin fever and rambunctious behavior. • Naismith devised a game using a soccer ball and two peach baskets as goals, with nine players on each team. He named his new game “Basket Ball,” and went on to establish 13 basic rules. Two years later, the peach baskets were replaced with iron hoops and a hammock-style basket. But it was several years before open-ended nets were used. Prior to that, each time a goal was scored, the ball was manually retrieved from the basket.

VA Awaits New LeaderDepartment of Veterans Affairs chief Eric Shin-seki is gone. He resigned after getting caught by the whiplash of the revelation that there were se-rious problems down the line in the VA, mostly having to do with medical appointments being manipulated, deleted, fudged, canceled, hidden in desk drawers (pick a word), and that veterans died while waiting. No matter how it turned out, Shinseki was al-ways in our corner. We can never doubt that. If he had a failing, it was that he trusted those down the chain of command to do their jobs well.We have a new secretary of the VA nominee, who surely will be approved by Congress. Let’s look at who he is. Robert “Bob” McDon-ald, age 61, West Point grad, former Army cap-tain, 82nd Airborne, son of a World War II veter-an, 33 years with Procter and Gamble, the soap company. His years at P&G weren’t all rosy, but that’s to be expected with a responsibility that large (the company has over 100,000 employ-ees), especially with a recession tightening all our wallets. A few things come up as red flags:Fact 1: In the end he was run out, forced to “step down” from P&G after four years as head of the company.Fact 2: From 1989 to 2004, he climbed P&G’s global corporate ladder in Toronto, the Philip-pines, Japan and Brussels. Which means he didn’t have his finger on the pulse of American veterans, or even Americans for all those years. Fact 3: No health-care experience.McDonald might have a rough start. Still, Act-ing VA Secretary Sloan Gibson is paving the way by meeting with the Special Counsel about whistleblower protection and directing all VA medical center leadership to meet monthly with local medical partners and Veterans Service Or-ganizations.

NAISMITH (continued):• After five years in Springfield, Naismith moved on, back to his studies, receiving his MD in 1898. He took a teaching position at the University of Kansas, where he founded that institution’s Jay-hawks basketball program, and was their coach until 1907. It was not Naismith’s intention to establish their sports program. He had planned to teach physical education and act as the cha-pel director. To Naismith, basketball was just a game, and he actually preferred wrestling and gymnastics, believing they were better forms of physical activity. • It would be logical to think that a team coached by the inventor of basketball would have an out-standing record. But Naismith was not a com-petitive type, and he felt the game should be played “for fun and health.” He rarely attended the team’s practices, and his record of 55-60 re-flected his lack of interest. He remains the only losing coach in the history of the Kansas basket-ball team.• Yet Naismith saw his invention thrive as bas-ketball became an Olympic demonstration sport in 1904 in St. Louis. It was made an official event at Berlin’s 1936 Summer Olympics, and the 74-year-old Naismith himself handed out the gold medal to the United States’ team, the sil-ver to Canada, and the bronze medal to Mexico. He remarked that seeing the game played by so many nations was the greatest reward he could have received. Little did he know that the game would go on to be played by 300 million people worldwide today. • Naismith authored two books, A Modern Col-lege in 1911 and Essence of a Healthy Life in 1910. He also served for a short time during World War I. He was inducted into the Basket-ball Hall of Fame (officially the Naismith Me-morial Hall of Fame) in 1959.

Insurance Coverage for Rent-al CarsWith the summer travel season upon us, insur-ance coverage might not be first on your list of ways to save money on vacation -- but it should be, especially if your plans involve renting a car. Your credit card likely offers car-rental insur-ance as one of the benefits, and your auto policy might as well.CardHub released a study showing that 20 per-cent of consumers purchase supplemental cover-age with car rentals. The reason: Confusion about whether their auto insurance covers a rental. Ac-cording to the study, 62 percent don’t think their auto insurance will cover a rental, and 24 percent don’t think their credit cards automatically cover rentals.Here are some findings:¥ American Express, Discover, MasterCard and VISA have a rental-car insurance policy, but MasterCard doesn’t have it on all its cards. All the cards require that you decline the supple-mental insurance (collision damage waivers) the rental company offers. The entire cost of the rental must be put on the credit card.¥ None of the cards will cover trucks, off-road vehicles, antique cars or vehicles with open beds. Additionally VISA won’t cover accidents on dirt or gravel roads. MasterCard is picky: It will cover an accident on a dirt or gravel road if the road is regularly maintained.¥ American Express won’t cover certain vehi-cles, such as big SUVs.Your best bet is to make calls before your trip and get all your facts in advance. Ask your auto-insurance company whether your policy covers rental vehicles. If not, find out if you can buy a temporary rider to cover your vacation period. Ask about other drivers if you won’t be the designated driver for the whole trip. Consider renting a vehicle similar to your own. If you’re going to rent one that’s significantly more expensive, ask whether it will be covered. Be sure to ask if there’s a time limit for coverage on your trip.Then ask your credit-card company about rental coverage, and whether there are any restrictions, such as the ones above. If you don’t have a copy of the card’s benefits and rights disclosure, ask for it in advance of your trip so you’ll have it in hand. You might want it if the car-rental agency questions turning down its offered insurance.To see the full report, go online to www.card-hub.com, and search for 2014 Credit Card Auto Rental Insurance Report.

Fixing a Damaged Roof Shin-gleQ: While doing a quick visual scan of the roof, I noticed a couple of areas where the asphalt shingles were chipped or even lifted a little. I didn’t find any leaks in the attic. Do I need to completely replace these shingles? -- Don C., via email

A: If a shingle is chipped but mostly intact, and the surrounding shingles are OK, you can get away with patching it. The repair may last only a couple of seasons, but it can protect your roof in the short term.To patch a shingle, take a spare shingle of the same material and cut it to the size of the dam-aged area. Remove any dangling or jutting piec-es from the damaged section. Tack the new piece of shingle into place using roofing cement.Shingles that are torn or buckled, missing, or ar-eas with several damaged shingles will benefit more from replacement than patching. Purchase replacement shingles at the home-improvement store, along with repair tools and supplies includ-ing roofing cement, tack hammer or roofing-nail gun, pry bar and spare roofing nails.Check out the YouTube video titled “Replacing a Damaged Roof Shingle” for a quick-and-dirty primer on replacing shingles.As you can see, the shingles above the damaged area need to be lifted slightly (be careful not to break them) so the roofing nails holding the damaged shingle in place can be removed. Once the nails are removed, loosen and slide the dam-aged shingle downward and out.Slide the replacement shingle into the same spot. If holding the shingle in place is difficult, put a couple dots of roofing cement on the underside just to hold it in place while you secure it. Work your way back up, putting new roofing nails near the same spots that you removed the old ones from. Re-secure the loosened shingles above with new nails.As always, remember that safety comes first when working up on the roof. Always have a partner helping to steady the ladder, and use a safety line. Move along the roof in a crouch, rather than standing up, which could cause you to lose your balance. If you don’t feel confident in working at that height, contact a professional roofer to handle the repair. The National Roof-ing Contractors Association can provide advice and guidance in finding a contractor.

HOME TIP: Check the weather forecast before starting roof-ing repairs: The materials need several days of

dry, warm weather to cure completely.

ROOT BEER

Since August 6 is National Root Beer Float Day, it seems like a good time to investigate the ori-gins of this popular beverage. • Root beer was originally a concoction invented by early native Americans using various plant roots, herbs, and berries, with sassafras as the main ingredient. Depending on the formula, a recipe might include flavors of vanilla, licorice root, sarsaparilla root, nutmeg, ginger, maple, acacia, anise, molasses, cinnamon, clove, and honey. In 1960, the U.S. Food and Drug Admin-istration prohibited the use of sassafras oil after determining it has caused cancer and liver dam-age in laboratory rats. Root beer producers then switched to artificial sassafras flavorings. • In 1876, Philadelphia pharmacist Charles Hires launched the brewing of root beer as a commer-cial venture. Hires was on his honeymoon in a New Jersey hotel when the owner served up an herbal “root tea” to which Hires took an immedi-ate liking. He persuaded his hostess to share her recipe of 16 wild roots, which included juniper, wintergreen, sarsaparilla, hops, and pipsissewa. Back in his pharmacy, Hires blended his own formula, offering a 25-cent packet of powder that customers would mix with water, sugar, and yeast, yielding five gallons of root beer. Shortly afterward, he began bottling extract and syrup concentrate for sale to soda fountains, as well as shipping out the beverage in kegs. • Hires introduced his beverage to the public at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition, giving away free samples. In his first year of produc-tion, he sold 864 bottles of extract. By 1891, that number was two million. He began selling bot-tled carbonated root beer two years later.

www.tidbitscda.com TIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #31 July 28th

ROOT BEER (continued):

• Many pharmacists of Hires’ day believed that root beer had health benefits, and Hires himself claimed that it purified the blood and made for rosy cheeks. • Hires believed in widely and aggressively ad-vertising his product, stating, “Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you are doing, but nobody else does!” • In 1919, when soldiers were returning home from World War I, a California entrepreneur named Roy Allen was looking for a way to honor them. He mixed up a formula for root beer he had purchased from an Arizona pharmacist and sold it on a street corner for a nickel a mug. The bev-erage was so popular that before long, Allen had expanded to four sites, which eventually evolved into drive-ins. In 1925, he took on one of his em-ployees Frank Wright as a partner and the pair began offering franchises under the name A&W. Eight years later there were 170 drive-ins. The company is the oldest franchise restaurant in the country and currently has over 1,100 locations in 10 countries. • A&W continues to honor soldiers on Root Beer Float Day by giving away thousands of floats. The company requests donations on that day for the treats, with all proceeds given to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project for injured service members. Donations topped $100,000 in 2013. • Ely Klapman and Barney Berns teamed up in 1937 in Klapman’s Chicago basement to create Dad’s Old Fashioned Root Beer, named in honor of Klapman’s father. Dad’s, still in production today, was the first product to offer a six-pack packaging and the half-gallon bottle.

www.tidbitscda.comTIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #31 July 28th Dear Auntie M.,

Please send your questions or comments to [email protected]. I shall be

frank and honest with my response and pro-vide resources where appropriate.

I heard an interesting story the other day that I wanted to share. It seems that this couple adopted 2 dogs - a mother and her female puppy, who are both blind because of a genetic con-dition. In the home there is another older dog. The puppy loved to nip at the older dogs feet and ears but then it started bothering the dogs neck - sniffing it and pawing at it and licking it to the point that it wouldn’t stop. The older dog started showing signs of illness - bad breath and lethargic, etc. When the owners took him to the Vet she discovered a cancerous growth in the exact area that the puppy was attracted to. My friend who told me the story swears that dogs can detect cancer. Is she just blowing smoke up my butt or is there some truth to this?Curious in Coeur d’Alene

Dear Curious,What a great story. And, your friend is correct. We’ve all heard about search and rescue dogs being able to sniff out bombs, bodies, drugs, etc., and the gift Service Dogs are for people with disabilities, but that seems to be just the begin-ning of how dogs can serve us. Dogs 4 Diabet-ics trains dogs for early detection of plummet-ing blood sugar levels in insulin using diabetics. Rapid changes in the blood chemistry can be detected in our breath and skin 15 - 30 minutes prior to it registering on a glucose meter. Dogs are being trained to notice this change and alert their owner. The University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine is studying the use of canines in early detection of ovarian can-cer as a dog’s olfactory system (sense of smell) is better than any chemical test currently avail-able. They have a dog who is 90% accurate in detecting ovarian cancer. In Italy dogs are being trained to sniff out prostate cancer with great re-sults. In CA a nationally recognized dog trainer, Dina Zaphiris, has founded a non-profit - In Situ Foundation.org, that is training dogs and doing trial studies with dogs to sniff out lung, breast, and ovarian cancer. Their next study will be on early stage pancreatic and stomach cancer which have no screening tests and are often found too late. They have also trained dogs to sniff out e.coli in urine which can early detect urinary tract infections. In Situ has developed a breath test kit and is awaiting FDA approval. Fascinat-ing! Makes that famous line by Ogden Nash, “A dog is man’s best friend” more true than ever imagined.
